CHAPTER 11 Chemical Reactions 11.1 Describing Chemical Reactions Reactants Products New substances produced The arrow means yields Where do Chemical Reactions occur? Everywhere!!! In living organisms In Food. In the air. WRITING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS In a chemical equation, an arrow separates the formulas of the reactants (on the left) from the formulas of the products (on the right) TYPES OF EQUATIONS Word Equation: write the names of the reactants and products, not the formulas. Sodium chloride + potassium nitrate Skeleton Equation: only the formulas of the reactants and products are included. Information in EQUATIONS Physical State of substance: (s)= solid, (l) = liquid, (g) =gas. (aq) = aqueous Catalyst added: used to speed up a reaction, but not part of the reactants or products. Not used in a reaction!! (Written over the yield sign) Catalyst 1
Symbols in EQUATIONS (aq) dissolved in water Yields Reversible Reaction Δ means heat is added written over the arrow Symbols used in Equations Table 11.1 Page 323 TYPES OF EQUATIONS Balanced Equation: Shows the relative amounts of each substance in a chemical reaction. Coefficients in front of the chemical formulas. Ex.) CaCO 3 or Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS We use coefficients in front of formulas to balance equations 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O What does the coefficient mean? 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O O H H O = O H H H H O H H In a chemical reaction, the reactants are different than the products. In every balanced equation, each side of the equation has the same number of atoms of each element. Conservation of Mass 2
Rules for Balancing Equations 1.Determine the correct formula. 2. Write a skeleton equation. (Formulas only!) 3. Determine the number of atoms of each element on reactants and products side. 4. Balance elements one at a time with coefficients. 5.Make sure the number of atoms on each side of the equation are equal. 6. Put coefficients in lowest whole number ratio.

PbCl 4 Pb + 2Cl 2 2H 2 O 2H 2 + O 2 CaCO 3 CaO + CO 2 SINGLE REPLACEMENT REACTIONS Atoms of an element replace the atoms of a second element in a compound. Needed: An Activity Series of Metals (Table 11.2 on page 333.) Halogens replace halogens (Decrease down 7A) Based on Electronegativity. Sometimes there is no reaction because an element is not reactive enough. Li K Ca Na Mg Al Zn Fe Sn Pb H Cu Ag Au Pt Activity Series of Metals Lithium replaces everything below it. Al (s) + LiNO 3 (aq) No Reaction Al (s) + CuCl 2 (aq) AlCl 3 (aq) + Cu (s) Why is gold, silver, and platinum used in jewelry? 5
Single Replacement K + NaCl KCl Sn + NaCl No Reaction F 2 + NaCl NaF + Cl 2 Br 2 + NaCl No Reaction DOUBLE REPLACEMENT Involves an exchange of positive ions between two compounds in aqueous solution Usually between 2 ionic compounds in aqueous solution. Results in a gas, water, or a precipitate.

PREDICTING THE PRODUCTS OF A CHEMICAL REACTION The number of elements and/or compounds reacting is a good indicator of possible reaction type and thus possible products See page 338 339 for a summary of the 5 reaction types. PREDICTING THE PRODUCTS When forming ionic compounds, always break up the reactants into IONS, then form the new compound.
